The Universe is expanding since the big bang right? Then....?

Question

is space itself infinite? If so, Is it possible that another big bang in some other quadrant of space started another universe?

Cancun,

The big band started in the center of the universe. The galaxies are moving away from this point. This is how the theory came to be.

As far as where the material came from, that is irrelevant. The material exists your are living proof.

My question is whether or not other universes may exist.

I meant Big Bang, not big band. Although a BIg band would could have started the universe as well.

Answer 1

I believe it's possible. We won't know for sure unless the light from that other big bang reaches us. String theory and now M theory predicts that there are an infinite number of parallel universes in the 11th dimension, all with their own laws of physics and with different shapes such as membranes, spheres, and toroids. Many M theory physicists believe our universe started when two membrane shaped universes collided in the 11th dimension and started the big bang. The fluctuations in the surfaces of the membranes gave us the temperature differences in the microwave background radiation we see, which in the beginning, ultimately led to the formation of the first galaxies.

Answer 2

No, space is not infinite. There is only a finite amount of space in our universe. More is being made all the time, as the space between the galaxy super-clusters expands.

The "Big Bang" did not start in the "center" of the universe. It started EVERYWHERE at once. Back then, "everywhere" was a very small space.

There are no other universes. Ours is the only one. On the other hand, there is (are?) a part of our universe that we will never see. It is just too far away, and the space between us and it is expanding faster than light. So just about anything could be going on in that part of the universe, it might even have different physical laws.

All rely interior of our universe is the comparable quantity from the day the great bang handed off to the factor it has prolonged subsequently some distance. Our universe could look limitless yet it is barely via fact we won't see the sting, in certainty, our universe continues to be increasing and how long it rather is going to go on is a secret. some have self belief that the rationalization in the back of this via fact of darkish rely that's forcing our universe to boost and then finally give up or decelerate yet new data has revealed that it may desire to be darkish capability forcing our universe to boost, however the version is that it rather isn't any longer preventing. it is persevering with to stretch forward and likely will cut up our universe or proceed on, and if this the case then our universe is limitless in the certainty that it wont give up increasing. this might finally lead the universe to an acceleration factor the place it is going to be shifting so rapid that it's going to available hit gentle velocity. this implies whether we've been to realize gentle velocity in a deliver we does no longer even touch the sting of the universe considering it is shifting at a persevering with velocity previous our own. it rather is like if the universe became into a hundred% we would purely be ninety 9.9% for the reason that 0.a million% is the hollow we would prefer to sparkling to realize the sting yet this won't in any respect ensue. yet while we've been to sparkling it, we would likely enter into the void. considering it rather is a no longer uncomplicated situation to think of how the universe began, it would be the two no longer uncomplicated to think of until now the universe via fact until now the universe there became into the void. It truly an area of countless nothingness or an absent area. not one of the elementary regulations of regular area and the universe exists, this includes mass, capability, atoms, gentle, even area and time. it is via this scientists question how some thing got here into no longer something while there became into no longer something to start with. it rather is a contradiction of lifestyles. we would prefer to appreciate the way this works until now we are able to instruct each little thing else. i wish this became into informative.

Space is indeed infinant, but to better situate your understanding, try to realize that there is no fringe, or outer edge that of which the universe expands upon... If you reach the edge of the universe, your right back where you started... Think of it like a doughnut, exccept thats all there is, the doughnut, no space in that center whole, or around it, and you can only vector in one direction.
To try to answer your second statement, NO; a second big bang in our universe would obliterate everything from the first because it would've taken the first to be incorperated. A better "option" for starting another universe, would come from black holes, well, their counterparts... a white hole. This is where a blak whole empties, inducing another dimension where the doughnut whole would be. It is though that our universe was itself created by a similar big bang, or in retrospect a white whole form a bigger universe, a cycle that continually propells itself infinetly smaller and smaller. To aid your thirst for knowledge, I'd reccomend watching the "Universe" series on the History Channle, and perhaps you should look into acquiring "A Short HIstory of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson, which I in fact find to be a very humorous and enlightening read, that expands slightly on the Big Bang Theory, and offers some good history on nearly everything else.

Answer 5

We do not know the total extent of space, nor do we know the shape of space. Astronomers and Scientists can "see" objects in deep space with the most sophisticated optical telescopes at distances of 13 Billion Light Years from Earth in all directions. Radio Astronomers using huge Radio Telescopes have been able to "detect" objects in deep space at distances of up to 40 Billion Light Years in all directions from Earth. Beyond those distances our best equipment fails to provide us with any useable information - a technical limitation of our equipment, not the end of space.

The "Universe" consists of all "things" within space. Indeed, it has been determined that everything in space is moving, and in most cases, things are moving away from each other - some at astounding speeds. So the Universe is expanding, but space is not. Space is reportedly "infinite." Some refuse to accept the idea of "infinite" space due to their education on the Earth where all things have a front, back, top, and bottom - can be measured easily. They have never encountered (they say) anything that is infinite. Yet when they say this, they have forgotten the idea of solving for the numerical equivalent of Pi which is 22/7. The numerical equivalent of Pi is an infinite string of non repeating digits. So, they have seen an infinite thing, they just don't identify with it.

Stars (like our Sun) are dieing all the time and being born as new stars all the time in deep space. When certain stars die, there may be a gigantic explosion whose tracks may be seen for years and years. There are also huge, huge galaxies near by and way way out in deep space just like our Milky Way Galaxy. Within each of those galaxies (and there are thousands and thousands of them) there are billions of stars within each one. So, explosions and collisions happen all the time in space, just not multiple times per day. Where ever these things you refer to are located, if they are in space, they are part of THIS UNIVERSE, not a new one.

Have a nice day,

Answer 6

For all we know, may be there was no big bang. Who is to say that the universe is in a constant state of flux. Where matter is transformed into energy to coalese later a matter and start again. That might explain the dark energy!

Imagine our galaxy as a spice in a pot of boiling water. Now imagine the pot full of spices.

Answer 7

If this universe is expanding it means there is still room. If there is still room it means that it is possible that another big bang took place in some other quadrant of space. Now, if this universe is expanding, it means the other universe may be expanding too. I hope there is enough room for all universes to expand or...
I believe that the space is infinite.

Answer 8

"...another big bang in some other quadrant of space started another universe?..."
Another 'quadrant of space' in our universe? If that's what you mean, I don't think such an event would have gone unnoticed.

Answer 9

Nope cos if it was in space it would be this universe

Answer 10

Well, that's one of the million dollar questions, now, isn't it? Figure out the answer to this question, and you've got a Nobel Prize in physics awaiting you.
